Ko te Clinoptolite e pā ana ki te kohuke silicate konumohe kei roto ko te konutai, te pāhare pākawa, me te konupūmā i roto i te whānau zeolite, ko ngā tioata te nuinga kei roto i te āhua o ngā pereti mārama. Ko te Zeolite tētahi o ngā kohuke zeolite tino nui. He mārama tōna tioata, ā, ka huri parauri, ka whero rānei nā te poke. Ko te Zeolite he aluminosilicate konganuku kawakore waikura ka taea te mahi hei tātari ngota i muri i te maroke, ka tangohia te hauota mai i te hau me te whakarei ake i te hāora. Ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te Zeolite hei kaihoko whakawhiti katote mō te maimoatanga o ngā para karihi, ā, he kaihoko whakakī me te whakawhānui hoki i roto i te umanga hanga pepa.

I runga i te whakaputanga ā-tau o te tata ki te 3 miriona tāne o te zeolite tūturu puta noa i te ao, neke atu i te 80% o te whakaputanga zeolite o te ao he mea tito mai i ngā kohuke zeolite tūturu momo clinoptilolite. Haunga ngā mea tūturu, he maha ngā zeolite hangai kua whakaritea puta noa i te ao mō te whanaketanga o ngā hēkona cationic. Heoi, tae noa mai ki tēnei wā, e 232 noa iho ngā zeolite hangai me ēnei hanganga kua kitea, ā, kua hangaia, nō reira he maha ngā kaipūtaiao zeolite e pātai ana he aha i kitea ai he iti noa iho ngā mea ka taea. He rauemi te zeolite tūturu me ngā rahui nui, he aluminosilicate waikura tioata me te hanganga angaanga, kei roto ngā pore e nohoia ana e te wai, te alkali, me ngā kationa konganuku whenua alkali. Nā te kaha cationic teitei me ngā āhuatanga o ngā tātari ngota, kua whakamahia whānuitia ngā zeolite tūturu hei adsorbents mō ngā kationa i roto i ngā papa mahi wehewehe me ngā papa mahi ma i roto i ngā tekau tau kua pahure ake nei.

E toru ngā momo o te raupapa clinoptilolite. Ko te clinoptilolite K, te clinoptilolite Na, me te clinoptilolite Ca i tapaina i muri i ō rātou huānga matua. Ka whakawhitiwhitihia ēnei huānga i te wā o te whakawhitiwhiti katione, he mea whai hua mō ngā konganuku taumaha, ngā paitini, te haukini, me ētahi atu e kaha ake ana te kukume ki ngā kohuke.

He tino teitei te kaha whakawhiti o ngā katione NH4 i roto i ngā toka clinoptilolite, ā, ka taea hoki e te clinoptilolite te whakawhiti motuhake i ētahi konganuku taumaha, kia pai ai mō te tango i ngā katote konganuku taumaha.

1. Te mahi mimiti. He nui te horahanga mata motuhake o te zeolite (500-1000 mita pūrua/karamu) ā, ka taea e ia te whakaputa i te kaha horapa nui, ka waiho hei mimiti pai rawa atu. He maha ngā pūwero me ngā awaawa rite tonu te rahi i roto i ngā tioata zeolite, he tika, he pumau hoki ngā diameter (tata ki te 3-11A) i raro i ētahi āhuatanga ā-tinana me te matū. Ka taea te mimiti i ngā matū iti iho i tēnei diameter e rātou, engari kāore e whakaaetia ngā matū nui atu i tēnei diameter. Ka kiia tēnei āhuatanga ko te pānga "tātari ngota", engari kāore e taea e ngā zeolite katoa te mahi hei tātari ngota.

2. Te mahi whakateretere. Nā te nui o te mata mimiti, ka taea e te zeolite te whakauru i te nui o ngā matū mimiti, ka taea ai te whakatairanga i ngā tauhohenga matū ki runga i tōna mata. Nō reira, he whakateretere whai hua te zeolite me te kawe whakateretere.

3. Te pumau wera. Ko te pumau wera o te toka zeolite e pā ana ki ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te momo kationa kei roto i te toka zeolite, te ōwehenga silicon konumohe o te zeolite, me te hanganga o roto o te zeolite.

4. Ātete waikawa. He pai te ātete waikawa o te zeolite. Hei tāpiri, kei a zeolite anō hoki ngā āhuatanga tukatuka pēnei i te tauhohenga matū, te irahiko infra-mawhiti tawhiti, me te maroketanga ka taea te whakahuri.
